System Restore is a feature that comes with Windows XP or beyond that allows a user to restore the computer to an earlier state. The program creates restore points every 24 hours, and a user can manually create a restore point. It is also possible to delete a restore point, which leaves a user unable to restore the computer to that point. Once deleted, a restore point cannot be recovered without installing a file recovery program.
